Browns rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield isnr17;t ready to compete with Tyrod Taylor for the starting job in Cleveland. But Mayfield is happy to be learning from Taylor.
Mayfield said on the ThomaHawk Show that Taylor has been an incredible mentor to him Wayne Gallman Jersey , and Mayfield is shocked that the Browns were able to get Taylor from the Bills for just a third-round draft pick.
r0;They traded a third-round pick to Tyrod just doesnr17;t make sense,r1; Mayfield said. r0;We got a lot more out of that than anybody else could. The guy that he is for this franchise, for all of our teammates is unbelievable. For me to watch him and learn him has been great. He sets the bar high Dustin Colquitt Jersey , shows up, his work ethic, itr17;s a great situation for me to come into to have someone like that. Itr17;s good for me.r1;
The Bills were ready to move on from Taylor Jerry Rice Jersey , so they traded him away even though he was their first quarterback to start a playoff game for them in the 21st Century. Mayfield thinks Taylor is ready to show that was a mistake.
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Minnesota Vikings, teams that fell one victory shy of the Super Bowl last season, will hold joint practices in August.
The teams announced the venture Thursday. They will practice Aug. 15-16 together at Minnesotar17;s new P. J. Williams Jersey , sprawling practice facility in the Twin Cities suburb of Eagan. They will play a preseason game Aug. 18.
It will be Jacksonviller17;s third set of joint practices since coach Doug Marrone took over in 2017. The Jaguars practiced at New England and hosted Tampa Bay during training camp last year.
The Jaguars and Vikings came up just short of the Super Bowl, which was played in Minneapolis. Jacksonville led the Patriots by 10 points in the fourth quarter before losing 24-20 in the AFC championship game. Minnesota lost 38-7 at eventual champion Philadelphia in the NFC title game, failing to become the first team to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium.
